Mono printing Induction

The mono printing induction introduced us into the idea of mono printing and how it can be used to create different affects. Mono printing is relatively straight forward but allows you to create some interesting pieces of art work. 

The first step is to roll out the ink as shown above so that you have a smooth surface to work from.

Next a stencil is created so that some of the ink is stopped this way it'll form shapes. As you can see from above both the negative and positive stencil can be used. The ink is then rolled onto a board, the stencil placed on top and then paper on top again. This is then put through a press where it is rolled and the image comes out on the paper.



A light bulb was chosen as a stencil because then a piece of work could be created that relates to Brief 5.  Above shows the piece of work and also the stencil after use which still looks pretty cool and usable.



The board after printing.


Pieces of work can be created by layering, for example above the larger stencil was used to create the yellow bulb and then afterwards the light bulb stencil was placed over the print and black was added.
